The spacemen strike back! Excellent mech, David. That is one of my favorite builds of yours so far. The legs look fantastic, and I think I see a little greebling in there. Well done, sir.

Thanks Tim, just wait till you see my research lab, WIP at the moment.

Cool! I am glad your making some mechs now. I hope you dont mind some constructive criticism. I was just noticing the legs of it are a little bare maby some more detailing in that area would be good, but dont get me wrong, it looks great! I hope there are more coming. Justin

Not at all, as soon as I read your comment I was thinking some hydraulics could improve the look. Thanks.

Oh yah... I was chuckling in anticipation as I waited for your page to upload! Trying out mechas now I see. Although can we technically call them classic mechas since they came out after the 'classic period'? Guess it's a mecha 'in the classic style'... there ya go! (I don't know what brought that on???) :)

I think the term is neo-classic space mecha, if I have the parlance right. Lego taxonomies are a nightmare.
